Windows: I can pay a low skilled admin who knows how to run prebuilt tools

Linux: I require a higher skilled admin who knows how to architect and build things

Because Linux has been built by developers for developers, it eschews braindead administration as a feature, because that's not something its dev community ever required.

That's changed somewhat in the past 15 years, but still lags Windows substantially.

Yes, and the low skill, low pay admin is what many companies are looking for, at least for their desktop/notebook fleet.

Server-side, it's almost all Linux
